Quality Axes

Time to put the big boy pants on, put it to work and make the old timers proud that were swinging them.

Where's the puck?

Snow's expected these days,and the lull while not sufficient enough for me to get to my cutting in the truck, gives the chance to hoof it back on top and do clearing before then.

  Huh? What was s'posed to show the white-out that's arrived becomes a black out through the edit function.

I was about to say "Try it again Don" but you did already. :D


So what's the deal here? WB are you gonna show us the 5 acres you clear cut with your ax or what? ;D

 I think (if I counted) I probably have 30 axes around the place, some are good, some are not, most are workable. I just never got around to treating myself to a high end one, not that I wouldn't want to. I did have one that was close to a good felling axe with a decent sized head and full handle. It had good bit on it too, took a nice bite. I swung it in a competition once was I was about 20. might even have a photo. But I got snookered in that one. Long story, but it's where I learned even friends can be sneaky when pride and community reputation are on the line. But I knew I was young and an outsider at the time and was naïve' enough to deserve it. I don't hold no grudges and I kind of admired the guy that sandbagged me, I never saw it coming. :D It was the beginning and end of my 'competition days' all in a few short hours.

Can almost detect an axe in that photo. But think I did find it.  ;D ;D

Nice axe Doc! 

Love your place Don! 

Greenhorn I'm sure out of all the axes you have you have a few dandy ones! I plan on chopping down several respectable trees and finishing off some monster walnut that I bore cut. That should be interesting and fun!

Blue's supposed to stand out in the woods. That could explain why Gransfors, Hult, and some of the others used it to paint their axes for a time. Oschenkopff's yellow would not be so functional 'specially in the autumn.
